Reply to "poll, -How do you feel about WOAD?"

It's songwriting by numbers. Verse, chorus, verse, chorus - that isn't always a bad thing but in this case, well, it is. Amongst this are splattered some stinkers - Surprise and Queen of the Supermarket (although loved the melody and first verse of the latter). However, there are also some gems - Last Carnival and Wrestler. Good Eye would have been better if it hadn't simply been three lines of lyrics and a chorus.

Edited to say I wish we could return to the days of large gaps between albums - the difference in quality is evident. Take the best of Rising, Devils, Magic and WOAD and you have a great album. Ok, they may not fit thematically or musically but that is something that could be worked out. Until we return to that I fear more of the same - poor to average albums with a few gems thrown in. Ah well.
